Gettysburg Address - "..that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have A New Birth Of Freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
"I do solemnly
swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United
States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the
Constitution of the United States."
President Washington added the words, "So help me God," a custom followed by
every President since.
